Bloomberg reporting on potential EU responses to China's rare earth restrictions:

- "The European Commission is preparing a list of trade measures by the end of the month that can later be deployed against China to boost its negotiating leverage, according to people familiar with the matter. The commission is also developing a plan to protect critical supplies in the short-term and secure other sources. "
- "The issue will likely be addressed at an EU leaders’ summit in Brussels this week, though the commission wants to avoid a discussion on specific measures, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. They declined to say what trade options the EU could consider, citing the sensitive nature of the matter."
